Even though our loved ones have died our relationship with them never will. In this short video today I talk about one of the ways I have an ongoing connection and keep my son very much a part of my life still and why.

i follow you all the time and love what you say–with this, as well. i don't journal perse but write what i am thinking at the time so i don't forget. i know i equate getting better with leaving him (my son) behind, and i know that is not right, but i can't seem to get my head around it. i know i am better (he died last year), but a part of me actually hates that. i guess it is the insanity that is grief! thanks for everything.
I don't write in a journal but I do blog. I had been blogging when she was first diagnosed with Ovarian cancer and then her entire battle, last stages of living and now I blog about my grief. (I wrote over 6 years and two different blogs.) There have been a lot of days where the pain is too great but for the most part it has been healing.
As always, thank you for opening your heart and your beautiful honesty.
Maureen, I myself keep a journal, I write every night before I go to bed, I have been writing in it now for 5 1/2 months, which is the amount of time my husband has been gone. I simply write about the days happenings and whats on my mind. We talked to each other all the time, he was my best friend and communication was a very important factor in our marriage. It does help me to feel closer to him. I have cried to him, screamed to him and even laughed to him in my journal. I do miss him terribly and always will and I am no where near being better, but I'm better than I was yesterday. Taking baby steps along the way. You are a blessing to all of us, you are my angel and your words help me get through allot of tough times, thank you so very much.
